Is The Idol starring Lily-Rose Depp on Netflix? (where to watch)

The show that everyone’s been talking about since it was announced is finally here. The Idol is set to premiere on a TV network as well as a streaming service on June 4, and we shared where it’ll be available to watch right below.

The Idol is a drama series co-created by Sam Levinson, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, and Reza Fahim. You might recognize Levinson as the creator of the Emmy-nominated series Euphoria and Abel Tesfaye as the Grammy Award-winning artist, The Weeknd.

The story follows an aspiring pop star named Jocelyn, who, after undergoing a nervous breakdown that derails her last tour, works to reinvent herself as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America and begins a romance with a self-help guru who is also a cult leader.

Lily-Rose Depp stars in the leading role as Jocelyn, while Abel Tesfaye plays Tedros, the self-help guru/cult leader/Jocelyn’s love interest. The rest of the cast is made up of Suzanna Son, Troye Sivan, Jennie Ruby Jane, Moses Sumney, Jane Adams, Dan Levy, Eli Roth, Rachel Sennott, and many others.

Is The Idol on Netflix?

Unfortunately, Netflix is not the streaming service where you’ll be able to watch The Idol. You’ll have to look elsewhere to stream this drama series. Although Netflix doesn’t have a show similar to The Idol on its platform, we still recommend checking out the streamer’s extensive drama section. Some Netflix titles we recommend checking out are Orange Is the New Black, Black Mirror, Bloodline, Russian Doll, House of Cards, FUBAR, The Diplomat, The Lincoln Lawyer and You.

Where to watch The Idol

The Idol will premiere on HBO and its streaming service, Max (formerly HBO Max), on June 4, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. If you’re in the Central time zone, the show will come out at 8:00 p.m. CT on June 4.
